What do your favors look like? Special favors for wedding party?

I just responded a favor post, and it got me wondering....

What is everyone doing for favors? What do they look like/what is included? Are you doing special separate favors for your wedding party? Share!

My favors will be puzzles with our picture, name, and wedding date on them. It will come in a tin can that has the same picture, wedding date, and names on it as the puzzle. The ribbon that will be attached to the puzzle will say putting togethor the pieces of our love.

housewife that is a cute idea. since we did not want to go overboard with the 07/07 theme of luck we are having pink wrapped chocolates in brown tulle with a pink ribbon and attach lotto scarth off tix for the luck portion of the day.

I really like the puzzle idea how and where did you find that. I thought about doing the votive candle and a favor not sure yet.

Housewife, I like your puzzle idea! FH and I are giving away CDs with some of favorite wedding songs. The CD cover will have our picture.

Our favors are gourmet-looking bags with our wedding logo and our names filled with our favoriet cookie: Chocolate Chips & white chocolate chips. The bags will be tied with the tiffany blue colored ribbon. My brother who is a graphic designer designed the logos for the bags, and my friend & classmate who is a professional chef is baking the cookies for me for free as a wedding gift. The whole thing is costing me about 30.00 total for the ribbon, bags and sticky paper to print the logos.

Because I like to be crafty, I'm thinking of making soaps, or candles, or I love the cookie idea. I'm all for something useful

There are some very creative ideas on here. My favors are a white bix with a rose on top. We will fill it with various chocolates that have our name and date on them. I also will be putting jelly beans in organza bags with our wedding colors.

One of my favors will be:

(My theme is roses - did you notice the roses around the cake? :-) And it comes in the box with the ribbon already in place. The thank you tag will not be there. I'm having a heart shaped tag in the place of it with our names and wedding date)

My guests place cards will be in a silver frame (so that's #2)

My hostess' will hand out my wedding CD with me and FH's pic and wedding date engraved in the CD (#3)

That's really neat! How big are the puzzles when assembled? I know someone doing playing cards with their pictures on them, and she is scaling down the card size to fit them in the tins.

Re: What do your favors look like? Special favors for wedding pa

My favors are picture frames that have hearts on them. They are not the typical favor size frames but a little bigger. We are having an picture done prior to so there will be a photo inside already. My bridal party are receiving gift bags that include several things. Double heart key chains, scented votive candles and silver heart shaped trinket boxes. I've been planning for some time so I keep adding things but I'm trying to stop.LOL

Re: What do your favors look like? Special favors for wedding pa

I didn't respond to my own post.

Well, I am doing Bob's peppermints and a mixture of the big round mints (not dinner mints) in bags with tissue paper and personalized ribbon with the whole "Mint to Be" thing. Then I found out a surprise favor from the wedding facility lady running her mouth: My FMIL and the coordinator are doing picture frames with the guests names on them (I'm thinking that's how they are going to solve the "important people will be the ones eating and those who are just showing up will not" issue). I also ordered wedding sparklers. My groomsmen and bridesmaids have personalized drinking glasses with their first and last names engraved.

Re: What do your favors look like? Special favors for wedding pa

We're doing photo favors. Each guest takes a professional picture w/ spouse during cocktail hour. At the end of the night the pictures will be framed (with our name & wedding date) for the guest to take home. I didn't want to do anything that would be thrown away. I figured, who would throw away a professional pic of themselves all dressed up.

If you're in the Tristate area. Here's the link to the website

I did personalized teabags and a CD soundtrack of all of the music that was played during the wedding ceremony and reception.

Yes I've seen them before, just wanted to give you another compliment. Most of these ladies are "new", they don't know that I've seen it before (why you had to blow up my spot)-- so stop laughing at me -- LOL!!!!!

we did tootsie roll organza bags in brown ... they don't require as much candy as other bags so we didn't end up spending a fortune on the candy...and they turned out so cute! everyone raved about them !

I just LOVE that Tajmom! If anyone needs lots of gifts it's your BMs so there no such thing as too much. Askalot and Rhony play nice! I may not be here that often but I can still see the corner from here! LOL
